Q: is DAVE’S CLASSIC CARS in GLENARM, ILLINOIS a real place?
i am wanting to get a car from him but i wanna know if its a scam or not.
A: Provided you do the same due diligence incumbent upon you when buying ANY used vehicle, whom the seller may happen to be or their legitimacy or not is largely irrelevant.
You can certainly call the local Glenarm or County Law Enforcement to ask about any opinion they may have and you can also use one of the many online satellite imaging resources to see for yourself what, if any, facilities “Dave’s” may maintain.
You can also verify with the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation its dealer license status. There are dozens of things you can do to take matters, and responsibility for the outcome, in your own hands.
In short, yes. Dave’s a “real place”.
Best of luck. I hope this helps.
Q: car title i already signed it how do i trade it?
got a car in illinois in a trade its a older classic car. I now lie in Ind,I was going to title it once I made it street legal. Long story short I got a good offer on the car and want to trade it but I signed the bottom of the title. I cant erase the pen? The person i bought it from not sure where that person even is. If I title it here in Ind it take weeks for the title to come back what can I do?
A: Nothing, unless your state offers the ability to show-up in-person to have a new title issued, (though many don’t as researching titles to ensure they haven’t been forged or adulterated is an inherent part of many state’s title process).
You can, however, draft a sales contract that specifies, by VIN, the vehicle, including a copy of the existing title, and setting forth your obligation to relinquish title once the new title is received. However, whether or not this is likely to be acceptable to a buyer is ONE matter, and it also may not fully waive your liability for anything the buyer may do with the vehicle before the title is officially transfered.
Best of luck. I hope this helps.
Q: Where can i buy a 1968-1969 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS to restore for not a lot of money?
I’m looking for a classic car to restore and i would like to get a Chevelle. it does not need to be in any kind of good condition, because i am going to restore it. any place is fine. online, a car lot. i live in Springfield, Illinois, but almost any place would be ok in the continental united states. thanks for the input!
A: Those are going to be pretty rare. Modifiers like them because they have a reputation for nearly optimal weight shift under acceleration, which translates to being able to put a lot of power on the ground.
Q: Two-way radios used in 1950s by Illinois State Police?
Does anybody know what types of 2-way radios were used by the Illinois State Police in their squad cars back in the late 1950s, say ‘57 to ‘59? I know they were low-band VHF units, but I’m looking for the make and (if possible) the model.
I know in the 30s/40s they used GE or RCA, but by the 60s had pretty much standardized on Motorola. But the 50s eludes me.
Reason for asking: Restoring a classic ‘57 Ford to its glory days in the I.S.P., and want to install a proper, period-appropriate radio (control head at least) as part of the restoration. Gotta make it look “right,” y’know?
If you have a source for this or other I.S.P. historical information that would help with this project, that would be great!
Thanks!
A: I was a trooper in Indiana at that time and worked near the Illinois state line. I remember seeing Motorola equipment in their cars. The control heads were under-dash mounted with a separate small speaker, also under-dash mounted. The transceiver units were hybrid (part vac tube and part solid state) mounted in the car trunk. I remember 6146 tubes in the transmitter output stage. These would be some of the first solid state commercial equipment offered by Motorola. I can’t furnish model numbers, however, a commercial repair facility would know. I drove the ‘57 Ford Interceptor, on regular patrol, in Indiana for nearly two years. It was the first really good Ford to come along, for police work. I went from the ‘57 to a ‘59 model, which I didn’t consider to be as good…

Nice one.
Q: Police spotlight mount on ‘57 Ford (thru fender not thru pillar)?
Does anybody know how the spotlight was mounted on a ‘57 Ford police car? (See photo here: http://i729.photobucket.com/albums/ww300/GFC-911/spotlight.png)
Modern ones mount through the pillar between the windshield and front door, but this mounts through fender under windshield due to wrap-around nature of windshield.
If you were to mount a modern one this way, the control arm for it would go right through the dashboard! So…
Where and how were the control arms mounted inside the vehicle? Was it some sort of curved mount, a cable system, or what? And where would the control handle have been located?
Finally, any idea what make and model the light would be?
Reason for asking: Restoring a classic ‘57 Ford to its glory days in the Illinois State Police, and want to install a proper, period-appropriate spotlight as part of the restoration. Gotta make it look “just right,” y’know?
Thanks!!

A: Good luck with this, thanks for the better picture link, here’s a similar one I found on the same year Ford.
http://mysite.verizon.net/vzesdp09/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/1957fordsafetypatrol.jpg
It looks like the control handle is right between the vent chrome and the rear view mirror. It also looks like the whole thing is slanted downward slightly to go under the windsheild. I can’t help but wonder is this was something done at the factory, because that looks like a lot of work for a government garage to do. It looks like there may be a chrome strip on the fender around the spotlight cradle. Have you contacted Ford about this? There may also be brochures on this floating around somewhere. Also try http://www.copcar.com/ , they may have some pictures that show how this is set up.
About spot lights, I have two on my antique fire truck and I see these all over the place when the Auto Fair comes to Concord NC. It looks like you might need something longer than what I have. Mine are aprox 12 inches, if that is the control handle in the Baltimore picture, that control shaft would be almost 2 feet. The controls are not rocket science so I would think a good machinist could piece two together and make it work.
For other info you may want to try these groups.

Q: Why would one believe in a supreme being.?
In my opinion religion is the true evil on this planet! Ignorant mankind has worshiped almost everything from the dawn of time.
The sun, moon, fire, stars, golden lambs, Egyptian cats, the devil, snakes, rocks, statues, gold, Greek gods, Roman gods, Pharaohs, kings, queens, trees, mountains, voodoo dolls, bugs, humans nailed to crosses, statues carved into mountains and the list goes on and on.
The fun religions are the ones that kill you if you don’t believe! All religions believe in the subjugation of women! Christian Catholics do not allow women in the Priesthood, they are relegated to the back room and used to be covered head to toe, Strict Islam also requires their women to be covered head to toe. When the Taliban gained power the girls were pulled out of schools. In the Islamic countries even today if you are a woman you can’t drive a car or walk down the street without being accompanied by a man. Ever seen a woman as head of a religion? Never going to happen! Ever see a Mormon woman with several husbands?
Religion is all about power, money and ignorance. Tom Krattenmaker,an author, once referenced a statement to Illinois Legislature’s Representative Monique Davis’s statement on Atheism, “Its dangerous for our children to even know that your philosophy exists!” That is the typical response by religious zealots to brainwash our children! Most of us were dragged to church when we were young. If you’re told about God and the church from the time you were little, your pretty much brainwashed! Its a very tough bond to break. But you learned about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy!
I have a niece who was raised by my sister as Catholic. In a discussion about church she
made a statement to me “If I don’t send my kids to church, who’s going to teach them
morals?” Morals in a Catholic church? Duh honey, how about you doing the job?
Religion is a curse to mankind, we murdered, tortured and done just about every evil thing
in the name of God! Think about the Spanish Inquisition where women were shackled and
had long steel pins shoved into their bodies! If they screamed they were innocent, if it didn’t bother them, they were witches!
Our country was founded by people escaping religious persecution from England but were
still stupid enough to put women on chairs and dunk them in water to see if they were
witches. Certain things never change!
Just in US history alone, we’ve had loads of people who have stated they had the inside track to God. Jim Jones,there was another great religious leader who scammed his flock out of their worldly possesions, only to talk his bretheran into comitting suicide by drinking poisoned cool aid. How many times has some guy talked people into believing that the “Rapture” was coming, so they also gave up all their stuff to these idiots only to be left standing in a field in the rain some where waiting for the “Rapture” to happen and of course it never happens.
How about Jim and Tammy Fae Baker, they were wonderful developing the “PTL Club”,
Praise The Lord Club, on television raking in millions of dollars only to find out their
luxurious life style including an “Air Conditioned Dog House” was nothing but a scam sending poor crying Jim to jail.
The lists go on and on. Its all about control and subjugation of people and their money.
The Catholic church is a classic example. Look at the emense wealth that they have created! Gold everywhere and once again dominated by men. Jesus was a real person, no son of God, but still a real person. He had no gold, drank from a simple cup. Why has the church 2000 years later so swathed itself in emense wealth? Shouldn’t they have given all that money away to the poor? Of course, as usual, no women alowed! Is it no
wonder why the church is loaded down with homosexuals and sadly, child preditors?
Its apparent to me that we need something like the “Independence Day” movie. Aliens
blasting away the bulk of our cities on Earth waking up the population to realize that we
are all earthlings! Then hopefully putting the death knell on religions of the world relegating
them to the dustbins of history and ignorance!
A: Sorry I nodded off there………
Why don’t you just kill all the 4.5B people of faith in the world and then we can put you in charge and you can be our God
